    It was a great Sat. to be out on the water. I was joined by some of my good buddies.

    Caught several smallies on leeches off Pikes Point. Had a surpise when bringing up a 15″ smally….roughly a 30″ Muskie tried nambing on to him. Headed to Echo Bay for some hot Blue Gill action, fish were off weedline in 18-25 foot. Slip bobbered leach or crawler 2-4ft off of bottom worked well. Also, jigged jiggers, tipped with leech or crawler 2-4ft off bottom.

    Water temp was around 73 degrees. Wind out of the NE 10-15.

    Was a great day!

    Moe,way to go dude!!! West O. is a great gill lake.Sure is fun to get into those big bulls in deep water.Try to get up and fish them when the hard water comes,alot harder than open water fishing.
